This $120,015 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research to understand the neural mechanisms underlying homeostatic, physiological, and social behaviors. The awardee, President and Fellows of Harvard College, will develop a novel technological pipeline to monitor large-scale neural activity in freely moving animals and identify the transcriptomic identities of individual neurons. This...
The National Institute of Mental Health awarded a three-year Project Grant totaling $3,618,976 to the University of California, Los Angeles under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to develop in situ single-cell multi-omic and morphological profiling methods for mammalian brains. Specifically, the university will work to design photonic-indexing sequencing strategies to spatially barcode tissue with single-cell resolution, integrating techniques such as PI-ATAC-seq and...
This Project Grant award of $314,113 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports the development and demonstration of a high-speed, multicolor confocal fluorescence imager. The goal is to create a tool that can simultaneously capture multi-wavelength signals and display them as separated or merged multicolor images and 3D stacks. This technology is intended to enable mapping of complex neuronal network activity and...
This three-year, $4.485 million project grant from the National Institute of Mental Health will develop protocols and workflows for a new imaging approach called Serial-Section Parallel Immunohistochemistry/Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (SPIFISH). SPIFISH aims to enable highly multiplexed, high-resolution imaging of endogenous molecules in brain tissue. The approach physically subdivides tissue specimens into ultra-thin sections, two orders of magnitude smaller than a neuronal cell body, to...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $600,000 Project Grant under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, TX. The grant will fund the purchase of a Tissuevision Tissuecyte 1600FC Serial Two-Photon Tomography (STPT) microscope to enable high-throughput, high-resolution automated imaging of whole, uncleared rodent brains or spinal cord segments. This advanced imaging system will complement and...
Purdue University was awarded a $1,304,216 Project Grant by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to develop and test a new platform for high-density 3D electrophysiology and two-photon calcium imaging in freely moving animals.
